Newspaper Page TextCARE OF SHEEP IN SUMMER, It Is n good thing to wcnn cnrly Fining lntnba during the lntter part of Juno. Souio sbeopmeu ndvocnte nllow lng them to continue to rim with the ewes, but It lins been found that, Hie latter will do much better wltudut the lambs, nnd with plenty of good pas ture the lambs will make better growth If they are separated from the ewes. Of course food requirements of the ewes nnd lambs arc very different at this time, which makes n separate box more- necessary. Always try to have plenty of good pasture for the sheep, as this Is a very Important feature, without which the animals will not do well. Do not fatten the ewes, but put them Into a plump condition "perpnrntory to A WELIi BEAKED BHEEP. By courtesy of Iowa State college. entering the breeding period nnd the winter. The lambs, on the other hand, should be pushed rapidly, as quick ma turity Is a matter of considerable Im portance If a good profit is to be made from them. The lambs make n better growth while young, at less cost a pound, and, taking all things Into consideration. It Is more desirable to get them off to market at the earliest possible mo ment. Good Mixed Pasture. Allow ewes the run of a good mixed pasture, with access to a little clover. They will do exceedingly well with this and a little grain. The flock should be provided with a plentiful supply of good, pure water, which is very essen tial, as a discouraging outcome Is apt to be the result if they are allowed to drink water that is impure. Feed the lambs n small quantity of oats mixed with some bran as an appetizer and allow them the run of a fresh clover pasture, which will keep them grow ing nicely. Frequent change of pasture is a great help with sheep, particularly with the lambs, which are rather par tlcular about what they cat. If they are turned Into a new range after a shower it will be surprising to see how thoroughly they will go over the-grass ngain, even though It has been cropped closely before. Watch ewes and lambs closely for any Indications of stomach worms 01 other Insect pests. Keep the stable darkened nnd accessible, so they may get away from the flies In muggy wont her. Flies are more annoying to sheep than many would suppose, and r very possible precaution should be tak a to prevent the attacks of these petit a. Watchful Eyo Necessary. To make sheep profitable the ever watchful eye of the flockmaster is most necessary. Sumo farmers give their sheep good pasturage during the summer, but they overlook the lu porta uce of going among the flock two or three times a week to see that all are on foot and doing well nnd have plenty of good wafer to drink. It Is just iia necessary to see fhat sheep have a plentiful supply of wnter, es pecially during summer, as It Is to sup ply plenty of suitable and palatable food. The floclc should also be regularly supplied will) salt. Salt Is an element of fo'-d. and a flock of sheep salted reg-ulnil.- do far better, remain In a more Ihrlfiy condition nnd make greater gain than (hose which are supplied with i!Js element at Irregular Intervals.

The county surveyors in England have reported that the tarring of roads has resulted In a snving of liO to 2."i per cent of the cost of the road maintenance. The average cost of npnij lng with tar is $103 per mile. Experienced men say that It pays to spend this much for tarring the roads thnt cost $750 to $1,000 per mile a year for maintenance. Nothing more satisfactory than tar has been found, Two methods nro used In applying It, If tliu rond Is resurfaced the material la previously saturated with tar, On roads that are not used too much such treatment will last five or six years, The other system Is to spread hot tar on tho surface, and this has proved to bir more than n dust protector. It ninken tho road waterproof nnd binds together the material, making It moro rcslstent to water, wheels and hoofs. 9 WHAT TO GIVE THE BOTHERSOME BUGS Proper Sprny Applied at Right Time Kill Many Pests Just what to use to kill the bugs and worms which annoy the gardener of vegetable and small fruit tracts at this time of year, is told in a new bulletin of the Oregon Agricultural College which will soon be issued from the college press. "Plant lice, or aphids, such as the cucumber aphis, cabbage aphis, lettuce aphis, strawberry aphis, rose aphis and others, often become very troublesome in the garden on various plants, and some of them are extremely hard to control, ''says H. F. Wilson, entomologist, who is the author of -the work. "Black Leaf, Black Leaf 40, or Kerosene Emulsion, applied at any time when the aphids become trouble some, or before the leaves curl, is effective. "For worms on cabbage and cauliflower Pans green or arsen ate of lead should be used. For cut worm on onions, a bran arsenic mash of a Paris green dry bait. "For the striped cucumber beetle, the plants should be dusted with Paris green or with arsenate of lead. It is well to plant some early squash for trap plants, and when the beetles are feeding on them, dust heav ily with Paris green. "For worms on the leaves of currant bushes, one should spray with arsenate of lead. For fruit worms, destroy the infested fruit and allow the poultry the run of the bushes when the in fested fruit is falling. For aphis apply an aphis spray (a Black Leaf or emulsion) when the ber ries are just coming out. Goose berries should be given the same treatment as currants. "For plant lice on hops, a thor ough spraying should be given with Black Leaf or Kerosene Emulsion at the time the lice are on the plant, and the treatment may be repeated in June if necessary. For aphis on peas treatment is the same. "To get rid of the striped cu cumber beetle on muskmelons, the treatment is the same as on cucumber vines, and for flea- beetles on potato vines, a heavy strength spray of arsenate of lead whenever the beetles ap pear should be effective. Water melon pests are treated as the muskmelons. PLANS FOR COUNTY FAIR Continued from page 1. board to send out a man to trav el the county to meet with the farmert'encouraging them to send their exhibits and to come themselves, and this personal work, a new feature, is bound to result in a much better agricul tural and livestock exhibit one that will be worth while making a special trip to see. It has been suggested that the four days of the fair will be designated as Prineville, Bend Redmond and Madras days re spectively, or that in some way the separate towns and com munities may have one day set apart for them especially at which their teams shall compete, their schools attenil en mass and their residents combine to gether to form auto or driving parties to the scence of the fair festivities. Any readers of this paper who have ideas along this line, are invited to communicate with the secretary so that the most satisfactory dates may be set apart for all. The premium list has been re vised to date, and will be back from the printers it is expected some time in July at which "time the secretary will have them dis tributed all over the county, is hoped that when these arrive each recipient will read them through carefully as there is something for all in the. offers made, and the extremely libera premiums this year should tempt everyone in Central Oregon to make some sort of an exhibit, Each man, woman, and child has something eligible for competi tion for one or more of these premiums, and it will pay you to bring it to the fair. Besides paying you it will help the Fair Association for the better the ex hibition, the greater the gate re ceipts, and the greater the gate receipts, the better will be each succeeding fair. Keep the fair in mind from now on. October 11th to 14th 1911. It You cannot get a good weather and waterproof roof for your building from a poor roofing. The roof of your building is the most important part of it and unless your roofing is right, there will be no peace of mind for those who live under it. A roof that leaks causes no end of trouble, beside a lot of damage. The best way to protect yourself from these unnecessary troubles, is to use Malthoid Roofing, T'ie makers of Malthoid Roofing guarantee it to be a perfect roofing to give satisfaction and to last as long as the building it covers, provided it is properly laid and ordinary care is taken of it. Twenty-six years of experience enables The Paraflinc Paint Co., ofxSun Francisco and Chicago Heights to guarantee Malthoid Roofing under these conditions. To be absolutely sure that you have no roofing troubles, buy Malthoid and lay it properly TumALum Lumber Co. I Lime, Cement Sand & Gravel Empty cement and lime barrels for sale.
